February 16, 2010, we held a 3-Hour Combustion Analysis and Carbon Monoxide Safety Training class at Williams Distributing in Grand Rapids, MI and the room was more than filled to capacity. We would like to thank our trainers, Richard Bruno of Bacharach (phone number 646-416-3842) and Garry Lee VanDenBerg of H.S. Buy Van Associates (616-446-9068) for the great technical information. Another thank you goes out to Roger Mullennix and Williams Distributing, for providing the training room, pizza and soda for all the attendees.
Letter received from Scott Hanna via email -- "Dear DTE Energy Residential HVAC Trade Ally" that was signed by Bob Fegan, Principal Energy Management Consultant, DTE Energy/MichCon. This is important reading for our contractor members.

When Charlie McCrudden Talks ... Contractors Listen HR 2454, the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, would impose a "cap and trade" regime on greenhouse gas emissions starting in 2012. This 1000+ page bill will have a dramatic impact on the US economy at a time when our economic recovery is struggling to take hold.
Aside from the cap and trade proposal, HR 2454 also targets the HVACR industry specifically by: imposing new regulatory requirements on HVACR equipment forcing the advancement of residential and commercial building codes without consensus phasing out the production and consumption of HFC refrigerants by 2036 causing an increase in the price of gasoline and diesel fuels. Cap and trade. We ask that you urge your Congressman to vote NO on HR 2454. You can use ACCA's Government Relations Grassroots Action Center to send a message to your Representative today. Thank you for helping ACCA fight for the contracting industry. If you have any questions, please contact charlie.mccrudden@acca.org.

NEW - Michigan Incentives for Renewable Energy! Eligible effciency technologies on a clothes washers/dryer, dishwasher, refrigerator/freezer, water furnace, building insulation, and windows.
The bill that passed in the Ways and Means Committee would remove the lifetime cap and allow homeowners to claim up to $1500 in credits for the tax years 2009 and 2010. Also, the per appliance limits are removed, meaning that a homeowner could claim all $1500 for a new high efficiency furnace, or all $1500 for a new high efficiency air conditioner or heat pump.
